It is a method that won't work now that there is league competition from other clubs giving girls options away from the club to continue to play at the same level rather than drop to the incredibly weak aspire.

All of this complaining yet VRSC is still 2nd overall in the Division across all clubs. SYC is a very close 3rd. NVA, LS, and Mclean aren't even close. The Club in 1st is from North Carolina. I guess VRSC not too shabby considering they have awful coaches, awful recruiting, awful everything except the fields.

The above also tells me that any GA Club from NOVA would have had a very similar performance at Champions Cup. Glass houses. Pot meet kettle, etc.

Mid Atlantic South is one of the weakest divisions in all of GA. The absolute truth is that likely no Club in NOVA would have done much better at Champions Cup. Sorry to break the news.

In reference to one age group you're saying none of the top teams in our area couldn't have beat a team ranked like 900 in the country by more than 2 goals? 😂 ok

That's not how Champions Cup works. It's not a single age group, it's across all age groups.

Not sure who is ranked #900 unless you can point that out. The 2011s played #5,#12 and #25 in US for example. Lowest ranked loss across all age groups was 2-1 loss to #118 Utah Celtic. Not 900 or something.

I assume the poster was talking about GA Clubs, not ECNL. If VRSC is 2nd in overall in standings across all age groups, he is implying that because all other NOVA GA teams are behind, and assuming they wouldn't do much better. Tough to argue either way there.

2013 age group, some team from Florida

2013 Florida United. #898 in rankings app. 2013 Rev beat them 3-0, which indeed was their (and the club’s) only win in CA.

Dying here. The California performance at all age groups is terrible. Why the FCV coaches still have employment is uncertain. Maybe after a mass exodus of talented players like happened last summer, the club will understand. BP will be back to cherry pick. So will NVA.

They are overrated because the kick and run works in high school and local club soccer but doesn’t work beyond Nova.

Parents rejected MJ and ED in droves and will be leaving the club in large numbers…particularly the “top” players who basically run fast, are more aggressive but have no IQ and or skill.

The U17s played Nationally Ranked SC Del Sol #4, #91 HTX, and #108 Florida United. That really isn't much lower. SC Del Sol is rated higher than VDA and Richmond. VRSC only lost 4-2. SC Del Sol is also ranked #3 in the US on Defense and VRSC scored twice. That is probably a good loss, right? HTX and Florida United are ranked higher than FVU ECNL but yeah, losing by two goals to both teams was not what the girls wanted. Did you know the VRSC starting GK was injured in the first half of the second game and did not play in the 3rd game? The Soccer Rankings App won't tell you that. Look, injuries happen but losing your only GK who is also your only D1 commit. That is a pretty significant loss. Also one of the starting CBs was out for the last two of three games as well.

Please leave the U17s families alone. We only have a year and half left before we are out and don't want to be part of the discussion. Nobody here is acting like we are best team in the area. We know where we fit in. Thanks.

Didn’t SC del sol play their second team most of that game and one goal was last minute luck? At the time VRSC 2009 was about 70. They lost to at least two inferior teams, but keep fooling yourself. Ask the coach why in one game a player showed up after the start time of the game and still played significant time during the game. Ok, so maybe she was the top player? Who was paid off for that to happen? Actually, happens at all the teams in this club…including owners sleeping with parents. One of the parents for our team was sleeping with the president of the company. The team coaches are frequently on here defending coaches getting high before practices. This club really kept it classy this year.

They are foreigners with credentials that are difficult to check? They also have accents not local to America. That must mean they are good coaches.

I said I am staying away from this. I was at the game. Yes, 2nd goal came in last minute. I am not going to address here say since I was actually there supporting DD and team.

I truly hope you find what you are looking for. Sorry something so terrible happened to your DD’s team. I can honestly say that the parents that heard about it were all disturbed. We don’t support that behavior but at the same time nobody is going to pick up, leave, or protest against the Club or Coach during our DDs recruitment years.

Again, politely, please leave our team out of the discussion. Thank you.

Unlike many parents here, I don't judge kids who play JuCo soccer. However, that's likely the best you'll get VRSC. Only one of the reasons we left. But, I love this journey for you.

Anyone singling out minors is a jerk no matter what age.

[Anonymous]

Buckle up Buttercups, this is going to be a long one. I have some bones to pick! This is about soccer.

So let's get this straight. Just want to tell you that every single GA Club is behind all of the ECNL clubs in the entire DMV. All of the ECNL Clubs would finish 1st in the division if they joined Mid Atlantic South GA. ECNL isn't going away overnight like some of you think. Not even multiple nights. As long as ECNL takes the majority of D1 commits, it will always be that way. Arlington moving back to GA would not be by choice but forced because of the boys. No way would they choose GA over ECNL.

Moving on to the NVA/Loudoun/VRSC/StJ disgruntled parents and Champions Cup. The nasty parents posting nasty things here are only from these clubs or perhaps new to GA Clubs. VRSC got Champions Cup for one reason and one reason only. They finished better than any other EXISTING GA Club in the division last year including the where the North Carolina Clubs finished the previous year in a different division. That is the long and the short of it. No conspiracies, just the rules. You don't see SYC, Skyline or StJ parents complaining because they already understand this. There are six existing GA teams in the division which makes sense why only one was chosen instead of two. New GA teams are not eligible and never have been. Do better.

Speaking of Champions Cup and leaving the atrocious politics of VRSC, Loudoun and NVA out of it. VRSC especially but we will just keep it to soccer. VRSC is currently second in Champions Cup standings only to CISC. That's a fact...currently but could change. Regardless, they still stand second. Let me be clear...as a whole...THIS MEANS VRSC IS OUT PERFORMING EVERY OTHER GA CLUB IN NOVA CURRENTLY AS A WHOLE. I see a point brought up about VRSC not playing NVA or SYC twice. Here is the problem with that strawman argument...VRSC did play CISC twice who is the top club in the division and it isn't even close. So, would you rather play the best Club twice or would you rather play the 3rd place Club twice? Oh, and btw, VRSC also got CDA twice who sits in 4th. NVA is behind them. Point is, that it is all a wash and that argument is weak at best. Again, no conspiracy in this one. Do better!

The performance by VRSC in Cali was awful. Remember though, they are still 2nd in the division and doing better as a whole than you. Why are many of you so entitled to think you do better? I don't get it. Sure, the U19 NVA team may have got a win but some of the other age groups would have lost by double digits. Also, as I mentioned, new GA teams are not eligible so that is null. So if SYC went, sure, some of the younger teams might have done better but also others may have lost by double digits. I don't really have any issues with SYC as I don't think they are here posting often. Still, many of you are really splitting hairs and not seeing the whole picture. IF your club was that much better, you would see it in the standings. Do better.

To tack on to the above, if VRSC is performing better currently, than it is a result of either the coaching or skill level of the players. Or both. But you cannot deny they are outperforming your Club. At the same time, thanks to the poor decisions of management and coaches outside of soccer, some families will leave. VRSC will likely see a set back of next year. Will be interesting to watch how management adjusts to correct the mistakes and current problems. May take years. Do better.

On to the next. NVA and Loudoun PPs. So you guys are throwing shade like no other yet being outperformed by VRSC, Mclean, and SYC. As the saying goes, you don't really have a pot to pee in or a leg to stand on with your record. NVA - You lost an entire team to ECNL. Your top younger players will flock to VDA or Union when offered. Your top team is graduating this year. That means you have to replace that team with another 1st place team next season to even be relevant for Champions Cup. Somebody recently posted that you don't even want VRSC players but from outside the box, you need every single VRSC player you can get. Loudoun - I mean, your below VRSC, Mclean, SYC, NVA, and maybe even Skyline. Meanwhile Alexandria wants all the smoke from everyone. Good for them, I hope they succeed...maybe worry more about NVA than anyone else? Is Do better.

I don't think I need to get into the politics. Results are results and why sports are played with the end goal of winning. Doing it withing the rules. The politics of VRSC or any other club acting in the manner we have seen VRSC play out this year will have an impact. You do crappy things, families will leave and your results will suffer. You do crappy things, parents will voice their opinions on platforms like this. Don't do crappy things. Do better.

I agree. The jerk coach always singling out my player. Don’t single out my player when it’s actually another player who doesn’t make an effort.

That means you have to replace that team with another 1st place team next season to even be relevant for Champions Cup. Somebody recently posted that you don't even want VRSC players but from outside the box, you need every single VRSC player you can get. Loudoun - I mean, your below VRSC, Mclean, SYC, NVA, and maybe even Skyline. Meanwhile Alexandria wants all the smoke from everyone. Good for them, I hope they succeed...maybe worry more about NVA than anyone else? Is Do better.

I don't think I need to get into the politics. Results are results and why sports are played with the end goal of winning. Doing it withing the rules. The politics of VRSC or any other club acting in the manner we have seen VRSC play out this year will have an impact. You do crappy things, families will leave and your results will suffer. You do crappy things, parents will voice their opinions on platforms like this. Don't do crappy things. Do better.

Um, OK KAREN! Time for you to get a job.

So let's get this straight. Just want to tell you that every single GA Club is behind all of the ECNL clubs in the entire DMV. All of the ECNL Clubs would finish 1st in the division if they joined Mid Atlantic South GA. ECNL isn't going away overnight like some of you think. Not even multiple nights. As long as ECNL takes the majority of D1 commits, it will always be that way. Arlington moving back to GA would not be by choice but forced because of the boys. No way would they choose GA over ECNL.

Moving on to the NVA/Loudoun/VRSC/StJ disgruntled parents and Champions Cup. The nasty parents posting nasty things here are only from these clubs or perhaps new to GA Clubs. VRSC got Champions Cup for one reason and one reason only. They finished better than any other EXISTING GA Club in the division last year including the where the North Carolina Clubs finished the previous year in a different division. That is the long and the short of it. No conspiracies, just the rules. You don't see SYC, Skyline or StJ parents complaining because they already understand this. There are six existing GA teams in the division which makes sense why only one was chosen instead of two. New GA teams are not eligible and never have been. Do better.

Speaking of Champions Cup and leaving the atrocious politics of VRSC, Loudoun and NVA out of it. VRSC especially but we will just keep it to soccer. VRSC is currently second in Champions Cup standings only to CISC. That's a fact...currently but could change. Regardless, they still stand second. Let me be clear...as a whole...THIS MEANS VRSC IS OUT PERFORMING EVERY OTHER GA CLUB IN NOVA CURRENTLY AS A WHOLE. I see a point brought up about VRSC not playing NVA or SYC twice. Here is the problem with that strawman argument...VRSC did play CISC twice who is the top club in the division and it isn't even close. So, would you rather play the best Club twice or would you rather play the 3rd place Club twice? Oh, and btw, VRSC also got CDA twice who sits in 4th. NVA is behind them. Point is, that it is all a wash and that argument is weak at best. Again, no conspiracy in this one. Do better!

The performance by VRSC in Cali was awful. Remember though, they are still 2nd in the division and doing better as a whole than you. Why are many of you so entitled to think you do better? I don't get it. Sure, the U19 NVA team may have got a win but some of the other age groups would have lost by double digits. Also, as I mentioned, new GA teams are not eligible so that is null. So if SYC went, sure, some of the younger teams might have done better but also others may have lost by double digits. I don't really have any issues with SYC as I don't think they are here posting often. Still, many of you are really splitting hairs and not seeing the whole picture. IF your club was that much better, you would see it in the standings. Do better.

To tack on to the above, if VRSC is performing better currently, than it is a result of either the coaching or skill level of the players. Or both. But you cannot deny they are outperforming your Club. At the same time, thanks to the poor decisions of management and coaches outside of soccer, some families will leave. VRSC will likely see a set back of next year. Will be interesting to watch how management adjusts to correct the mistakes and current problems. May take years. Do better.

On to the next. NVA and Loudoun PPs. So you guys are throwing shade like no other yet being outperformed by VRSC, Mclean, and SYC. As the saying goes, you don't really have a pot to pee in or a leg to stand on with your record. NVA - You lost an entire team to ECNL.

Of the local GA clubs, Loudoun/NVA, SYC, and MYS produce far more talented ulittles than VRSC, Alex, and TSJ. The question is whether they will be able to keep those players when they face the ECNL vs GA question. This season, NVA and SYC kept their rising U13s and MYS lost theirs. Does the 2013s’ experience this season make it more or less likely that the 2014s will take the same path?
